I am a registered counsellor with a passion for family relationships. Although I mainly work with children aged three to 12, I also counsel teenagers and adults. I worked full-time as a teacher for six years and gradually realised that I was particularly interested in the emotional support of children. It spurred me to specialise in counselling.
​
In a family, mutual respect for each family member is essential. I believe a family is only as healthy and strong as the family member doing the worst - like a chain that is as strong as the weakest link. 
​
The biggest mistake is thinking that children (even babies) are too young to be affected by trauma or conflict or that children will outgrow their trauma. I need to act preventively - before severe psychological problems later develop in a person and the services of a psychologist or psychiatrist are needed. 
​
I work primarily from a Christian perspective and follow various techniques and approaches (including sand and play therapy) to adapt to each client. From experience, I know that clients can make significant changes and improvements (healing) when they approach counselling with an open mind and commitment.
